  • Please come back!!!

    This podcast was recommended by a therapist. I started listening to different episodes that spoke to me. Although, I’m not a deeply religious person I still feel you can get something out of listening to their sound and well thought conversations. My partner and I may not make it through this rough time, but I am at least I can move forward and find some peace while diving into some introspection.

    My name is Isaac

    I am the one who had an affair on my wife and I didn’t even know how bad I was hurting her until I listened to multiple podcasts but most of all yours! You covers so many actions I have acted out on her! Thank you for your time and energy to help me grow even if we never reconcile our marriage! You both rock and are appreciated!
